lost galaxies

And even as I tell you to be gentle

You tear me apart

With steel hands and dark eyes

And I wonder how you won my heart

Because once you were so kind

With galaxies inside your mind

That you let me see, that you let me hold

But we have left that time behind

Now you are cruel and commanding

Can I blame you or myself

Were you hiding behind a facade

Or did I reach into your soul and pull out something else

Now there is no whisper of galaxies

You have found the weakness in my heart

And you mold me with it, steel against the flame

My soul is coming apart.
